Chapter 499: I didn't have a choice that year
Li Duoyu sat down with President Ou and seriously discussed the cooperation.
That same evening.
President Ou ordered more than 20,000 grilled eels, and when the time came, after Li Duoyu was grilled, he would call a boat to come and pull the goods.
At the same time, President Ou is also very interested in Li Duoyu's large dried oysters, but what he wants to cooperate with most is the abalone farming project.
There are also people on Hong Kong Island who breed abalone, but they are all local green abalone and nine-hole abalone, and the taste is not as good as that imported from island countries.
He was very interested in the southern abalone farming project mentioned by Li Duoyu, but unfortunately, Li Duoyu is now focusing on shrimp and eel farming, and has not planned to involve the abalone industry in recent years.
President Ou found out that this young man was really bad, and after drawing a big pie, he successfully whetted his appetite, but said that he didn't want to do it for the time being.
President Ou sighed and said: "Director Li, when you have a plan, remember to ask me to attract investment, and when the time comes, I will borrow a boat from the boat king on Hong Kong Island to help you complete the abalone transshipment." ”
"No problem, we'll get back in touch when the time comes."
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, Li Duoyu and they had been coming to Hong Kong Island for more than a week, and the organization had done all the things that needed to be done.
The organization has decided to return to Ludao tomorrow afternoon by the Gulangyu Island.
Under the leadership of the organization and President Ou, Li Duoyu successfully signed a contract with the equipment factory.
Unexpectedly, when I signed the equipment purchase contract, it was all in English, even with the product manual.
Zhou Xiaoying complained several times that she didn't use it after learning English, but she didn't think that she would use it here.
The equipment was not immediately available, and it would take about three months before it was delivered to Shangfeng Town.
Therefore, in these three months, he must put the construction of Qixing Bay on the agenda, and strive to build the shrimp breeding base when the equipment arrives.
Just April and May is the season for local shrimp breeding, and if everything goes well, maybe you can directly raise shrimp this year.
Except for the Seven Star Bay side.
Li Duoyu also purchased a set of water circulation and temperature control equipment for the eel factory on Dandan Island.
Li Duoyu planned to do so, and in the future, the eel factory on this side of Dandan Island will only be responsible for cultivating eel seedlings.
There is also an eel factory in Qixing Bay to cultivate adult eels, if the Haixin eel factory does not make a breakthrough in technology and can't persevere, it will be better, then he doesn't mind taking over.
Li Duoyu simply calculated, if he took over the Haixin Eel Factory, he would be able to save at least hundreds of thousands of infrastructure costs.
This trip to Hong Kong Island can be said to be full of harvest, and the biggest gain is these equipment.
Of course, Zhou Xiaoying's relatives were found, and before leaving Hong Kong Island, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying's relatives had a meal together at home, and took a photo by the way.
Zhou Xiaoying's grandmother was completely reluctant to go back to Zhou Xiaoying, Li Duoyu was busy these days, as soon as Zhou Xiaoying was free, she went to her cousin Zhou Zhenshun's store to help, and chatted with this old lady behind her ears by the way.
But the old lady did not leave the third Zhou Shiqing, saying that he was not filial, his hometown did not reply, and he did not send a letter.
Every time she heard the old lady talk about her father, Zhou Xiaoying was very uncomfortable, after so many years, she thought that she could let go a long time ago.
But when I thought that my father and mother had been gone for so many years, I couldn't help but want to cry.
Among the relatives, no one dared to tell the old lady the news that the third Zhou Shiqing was no longer there.
Don't look at the old lady who is a little behind her ears now, but when she was young, she was a singer and a musician.
When talking about this past, the uncle was so angry that he gritted his teeth, which is why they were reluctant to go back even if they made money.
After Zhou Xiaoying heard this, her eyes instantly turned red, although everyone is doing well now, but in that era, these relatives of her family were really miserable.
If she suffers another blow, it is very likely that she will not be able to bear it, so everyone decided to hide this matter.
Zhou Xiaoying also told a white lie: "Milk, my father has gone to work far away now, and he only came back once in a long time." ”
The old lady said angrily: "It really hasn't changed at all, I love to run around since I was a child." ”
"By the way, what about your mother?"
Zhou Xiaoying was silent for a while, and said with a slight smile: "My mother also went with her." ”
"Alas, I haven't seen this daughter-in-law yet, tell your father in the future, let him bring your mother to Hong Kong Island, and let me meet him."
"Okay, milk."
Before leaving Hong Kong Island, the old lady bought a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets directly for the 5,000 yuan that was originally going to be given to Qin Huaiyun and gave them to Zhou Xiaoying.
"This is the milk for you, keep it well, and in the future, if you have difficulties in the mainland, write directly to us and tell us."
Zhou Xiaoying nodded happily, she was already very happy to find them here, what she was most afraid of was that she would never find their relatives again.
Before leaving, Li Duoyu found that Zhou Zhenshun's shop business was actually not very good, and he also noticed it when he ate their meals.
It's really almost meaningless, especially the abalone sauce rice, the taste is a little worse.
Before leaving, Li Duoyu taught them several secret seasonings, and after having these seasonings, it was difficult to think about the business of this store.
If Zhou Xiaoying's cousin is motivated, maybe he can rely on these seasonings to open a branch soon.
The next day, in the afternoon.
The Gulangyu slowly sailed out of Victoria Harbour and headed towards the blue sea.
And in a village on the outskirts of Jinling, there is a large family of people, who are as anxious as ants on a hot pot these days.
Several of them have panda eyes, and they haven't slept well for several nights.
"Mother, how many days have it been, at this time before, the Zhou family's overseas remittances have already come, it won't be in Zhang Damao's hands, there is really the real address of the Zhou family on Hong Kong Island."
Qin Huaiyun said: "It shouldn't be possible, the last time your father invited Lao Zhang to drink, he came out with some words, the letter in his hand didn't have a detailed address at all, and it was still wrong, just with that address, the Zhou family couldn't be contacted at all." ”
A young man in his twenties said: "That mother, is it possible that the Zhou family knows the contact information of that Zhou Shiqing, and they contacted it directly." ”
"Impossible, that Zhou Shiqing is already dead."
"Dead?"
After hearing this, Qin Huaiyun's sons were also surprised: "Zhou Shiqing, don't the Zhou family know, why do they send money to him every year to spend." ”
Qin Huaiyun snorted: "You are stupid, how can I tell them, if they know, the Zhou family will give us more money."
Don't think how good the Zhou family is to us, the 5,000 remittances are not all ours, of which 3,000 are for that Zhou Shiqing. ”
"So, we've been receiving dead people's money."
After hearing this, Qin Huaiyun glared at him on the spot: "How do you speak, what does it mean to take money from dead people." ”
"Anyway, you don't have to worry, as long as we don't give the real address, that Zhou Xiaoying shouldn't be able to contact the Zhou family."
Among them, a young man named Zhang Youxian, dressed in fashionable clothes, said anxiously:
"Mother, can this money arrive at the end of the month, I made an appointment with Zhu Yun, next month we will go to see the flag-raising, climb the Great Wall, and go to the friendship store in the imperial capital, if there is no money, I can't go out of Jinling."
Another young man was also anxious: "The money I borrowed from the credit union will have to be repaid immediately this month, and if I don't pay it back, maybe I will be dragged to prison." ”
"A-Niang, if this money is cut off, Xiuli will 100% go back to her parents' house and not continue to live with me."
Qin Huaiyun furrowed his brows: "Don't worry, let's wait, maybe it's just that the Zhou family is busy during this time, and this has not happened before." ”
"If the money hasn't come in two days, I'll send a telegram to Hong Kong Island to ask and see what the situation is."
"Mother, you sent it early."
"We really can't make it to next month."
Having said that, Qin Huaiyun has always had a bad premonition in his heart, and recently, his right eye has been jumping constantly, and he always feels that their family's financial source is going to be cut off.
As soon as she thought of this, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating, if it was really broken, then this family was likely to be scattered.
The eldest daughter-in-law must be going to make trouble, the third still owes so much money to the credit union, and the second one has just been talking about the object.
His position in Jinling was bought with money, and he had to pay tribute to the leader every year.
If this is broken.
How can you live?
Here in Zhouzhuang, you must not give people a laugh to death.
After a day and a night of sailing, in the early morning of the next day, the Gulangyu docked at the Peace Pier on Ludao.
And Li Duoyu did not continue to stay on Egret Island, but drove his fishing boat directly back to Dandan Island.
Maybe it's because I saw his fishing boat, the boat hasn't docked yet, Xiao Fat Dun, A-Niang holding Xiao Tutu, and Sister Shuihua, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun are all here at the dock.
Maybe because he hadn't seen his father and mother for too long, Xiao Tutu was a little surprised at first, and even couldn't react.
But when Li Duoyu opened his arms, Xiao Tutu ran directly to Zhou Xiaoying, hugged her thighs tightly and cried aggrievedly.
The sound is super loud, half of the pier can be heard, and it can't be coaxed no matter how you coax it.
It wasn't until Li Duoyu took out a robot with a battery that could move and emit light and make sounds, that Xiao Tutu instantly stopped crying.
After seeing this robot, Xiao Chubbydun's eyes instantly lit up, and he wanted to come over and touch it twice, but he didn't want Xiao Tutu to hug it directly.
"It's mine."
Little Fat Dun smiled and said, "Tutu, just show my brother twice, and I'll give it back to you right away." ”
"No, it's all mine."
After seeing this scene, Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying looked at each other, the child is really growing up day by day, and now they can take care of toys.
And Zhou Xiaoying also bought some things for these children, mechanical pencils, and several very good erasers.
After coming back, many relatives also came over, and Li Duoyu also brought them some souvenirs, and told them some things about Hong Kong Island by the way.
Even the second uncle and eldest uncle came, and a group of people sat in the courtyard of Li Duoyu's new home and listened to Li Duoyu talk about what he saw and heard on Hong Kong Island.
The second uncle, who was smoking a dry cigarette, couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, you have been to Hong Kong Island and island countries, which side is more powerful." ”
Li Duoyu frowned slightly, and then replied: "It should be that the island country is more powerful." ”
The second uncle, who had a blood feud with the people of the island country, couldn't help but scold: "Damn, this little devil has developed so well, he should have voted for a few more in the first place." ”
But everyone was not very interested in what kind of party the organization held, and told them that Boss Huo had come that night.
They don't understand how powerful Boss Huo is, these people in the village are most concerned about those people who smuggled in the past, how much money they can earn every month on Hong Kong Island.
Li Duoyu also talked to Zhou Xiaoying's relatives, and only then did he know that smuggling to Hong Kong Island did not make as much money as he imagined.
"It's no problem for people who get an identity to earn four or five thousand a month, but if they don't have an identity, it's not easy to say, it's about two or three thousand a month."
Lao Lu frowned and said:
"It's so little, it's only two or three thousand a month, so it's better to raise a few more acres of kelp on our island."
Li Duoyu smiled, this is really true for Lao Lu, this group of people like him who got rich first is really not cost-effective.
Working Hong Kong Island, perhaps, they don't make much money at home, but the option of smuggling has never been for the rich.
Most of them are people who have no money and can't find a way out, so they finally take risks and embark on the road of smuggling.
In his previous life, when Li Duoyu came out of prison, the village was still very poor, there were only one or two households per 10,000 yuan, and there were only a few boats at all, which was completely incomparable with now.
After Li Duoyu came out that year, he did want to be with Zhou Xiaoying and his children, but because he had been in prison, many units and factories did not accept them.
At that time, there was no one engaged in farming, he didn't even have a boat, and he couldn't make money on Dandan Island at all.
is all supported by Xiaoying's salary, and no matter what era it is, men will be laughed at if they can't earn money.
This is also the fundamental reason why Li Duoyu did not hesitate to borrow usury from the snakehead back then, and risked his life to smuggle to the island country to work.
The kind of environment back then, for many seaside people who couldn't make money, they had no choice at all.
On the contrary, they felt that smuggling was a very glorious thing, and even after the smuggling was successful, they had to set off guns to celebrate and invite the villagers to watch the play. (End of chapter)
